1.3.3 Safety Precautions

The following safety precautions must be observed during all phases of the operation, usage, service or repair of any cellular terminal or mobile incorporating AGS2-W. Manufacturers of the cellular terminal are advised to convey the following safety information to users and ope rating personnel and to incorporate these guidelines into all manuals supplied with the product. Failure to comply with these precautions violates safety standards of design, manufacture and intended use of the product. Cinterion Wireless Modules assumes no liability for customer’s failure to comply with these precautions.

When in a hospital or other health care facility, observe the restrictions on the use of mobiles. Switch the cellular terminal or mobile off, if instructed to do so by the guidelines posted in sensitive areas. Medical equipment may be sensitive to RF energy. The operation of cardiac pacemakers, other implanted medical equipment and hearing aids can be affected by interference from cellular terminals or mobiles placed close to the device. If in doubt about potential danger, contact the physician or the manufa cturer of the device to verify that the equipment is properly shielded. Pacemaker patients are advised to keep their hand-held mob ile a way from the pace maker , while it is on.

Switch off the cellular terminal or mobile before boarding an aircraft. Make sure it cannot be switched on inadvertently. The operation of wireless appliances in an aircraft is forbidden to prevent interference with communications systems. Failure to observe these instructions may lead to the suspension or denial of cellular services to the offender, legal action, or both.

Do not operate the cellular terminal or mobile in the presence of flammable gases or fumes. Switch off the cellular terminal when you are near petrol stations, fuel depots, chemical plants or where blasting operations are in progress. Operation of any electrical equipment in potentially explosive atmospheres can constitute a safety hazard.

Your cellular terminal or mobile receives and transmits radio frequency energy while switched on. Remember that interference can occur if it is used close to TV sets, radios, computers or inadequately shielded equipment. Follow any special regulations and always switch off the cellular terminal or mobile wherever forbidd en, or when you suspect that it may cause interference or danger.

Road safety comes first! Do not use a hand-held cellular terminal or mobile when driving a vehicle, unless it is securely mounted in a holder for speakerphone operation. Before making a call with a hand-held terminal or mobile, park the vehicle. Speakerphones must be installed by qualified personnel. Faulty installation or operation can constitute a safety hazard.

IMPORTANT! Cellular terminals or mobiles operate using radio signals and cellular networks. Because of this, connection cannot be guaranteed at all times under all conditions. Therefore, you should never rely solely upon any wireless device for essential communications, for example emergency calls. Remember, in order to make or receive calls, the cellular terminal or mobile must be switched on and in a service area with adequate cellular signal strength. Some networks do not allow for emergency calls if certain network services or phone features are in use (e.g. lock functions, fixed dialing etc.). You may need to deactivate those features before you can make an emergency call. Some networks require that a valid SIM card be properly inserted in the cellular terminal or mobile.



3.1 Operating Modes

The table below briefly summarizes the various operating modes referred to in the following chapters.

Table 7: Overview of operating modes

Normal operation GSM/GPRS SLEEP Various power save modes set with AT+CFUN command.

Software is active to minimum extent. If the module was registered to the GSM network in IDLE mode, it is register ed and paging with the BTS in SLEEP mode, too. Power saving can be chosen at different levels: The NON-CYCLIC SLEEP mode (AT+CFUN=0) disables the AT interface. The CYCLIC SLEEP modes AT+CFUN=7 and 9 alternatingly activate and deactivate the AT interfaces to allow permanent access to all AT commands.

GSM IDLE Software is active. Once registered to the GSM network,

paging with BTS is carried out. The module is ready to send and receive.

GSM TALK Connection between two subscribers is in progress. Power

consumption depends on network coverage individual settings, such as DTX off/on, FR/EFR/HR, hopping sequences, antenna.

GPRS IDLE Module is ready for GPRS data transfer, but no data is cur-

rently sent or received. Power consumption depends on network settings and GPRS configuration (e.g. multislot settings).

GPRS DATA GPRS data transfer in progress. Power consumption

depends on network settings (e.g. power control level), uplink/downlink data rates, GPRS configuration (e.g. used multislot settings) and reduction of maximum output power.

Power Down Normal shutdown after sending the AT^SMSO command.

Only a voltage regulator is active for powering the RTC. Software is not active. Interfaces are not accessible. Operating voltage (connected to BATT+) remains applied.

Alarm mode Restricted operation launched by RTC alert function while the module is in Power

Down mode. Module will not be registered to GSM network. Limited number of AT commands is accessible.

4 Antenna Interface



4 Antenna Interface

The RF interface has an impedance of 50. AGS2-W is capable of sustaining a total mismatch at the antenna lines without any damage, even when transmitting at maximum RF power.

The external antenna must be matched properly to achieve best performance regarding radiated power, modulation accuracy and harmonic suppression. Antenna matching networks are not included on the AGS2-W module and should be placed in the host application if the a ntenna does not have an impendance of 50

Regarding the return loss AGS2-W provides the following values in the active band:

5.2 Operating Temperatures

Please note that the module’s lifetime, i.e., the MTTF (mean time to failure) may be reduced, if operated outside the extended temperature range. A special URC reports whether the module enters or leaves the extended temperature range (see [1]; AT^SCTM).

Table 10: Board temperature

Parameter Min Typ Max Unit

Normal operation -30 +25 +85 °C Extended operation Automatic shutdown

Temperature measured on AGS2-W board

1. Extended operation allows normal mode speech calls or data transmission for limited time until automatic thermal shutdown takes effect. Within the extended temperature range (outside the normal operating temperature range) the specified electrical characteristics may be in- or decreased.

2. Due to temperature measurement uncertainty, a tolerance of ±3°C on the thresholds may occur.

-40 to -30 +85 to +90 °C

<-40 --- >+90 °C

Note that within the specified operating temperature ranges the board temperature may vary to a great extent depending on operating mode, used frequency band, radio output power and current supply voltage.

When data are transmitted over GPRS the module automatically reverts to a lower Multislot Class if the temperature rises to the limit specified for normal operation and, vice versa, ret u rn s to the higher Multislot Class if the temperature is back to normal.



7.2 Compliance with FCC and IC Rules and Regulations

The Equipment Authorization Certification for the Cinterion Wireless Modules reference application described in Section 7.1 will be registered under the following identifiers:

FCC Identifier: QIPAGS2 Industry Canada Certification Number: 7830A-AGS2 Granted to Cinterion Wireless Modules GmbH

Manufacturers of mobile or fixed devices incorporating AGS2-W modules are authorized to use the FCC Grants and Industry Canada Certificates of the AGS2-W modules for their own final products according to the conditions referenced in these documents. In this case, an FCC/ IC label of the module shall be visible from the outside, or the host device shall bear a second label stating "Contains FCC ID QIPAGS2", and accordingly “Contains IC 7830A-AGS2“.

The integration is limited to fixed or mobile categorised host devices, where a separation distance between the antenna and any person of min. 20cm can be assured during normal operating conditions. For mobile and fixed operation configurations the antenna gain, including cable loss, must not exceed the limits 7.24 dBi (850 MHz) and 3.30 dBi (1900 MHz). See [3].

IMPORTANT: Manufacturers of portable applications incorporating AGS2-W modules are required to have their final product certified and apply for their own FCC Grant and Industry Canada Certificate related to the specific portable mobile. This is mandatory to meet the SAR requirements for portable mobiles (see Section 1.3.2 for detail).

Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.

Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turn ing the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to wh ich the rece iver is connected.

• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

The manufacturer is responsible for ensuring that after the module is installed and operational the host continues to be compliant with the Part 15B unintentional radiator requirements.
